Three children aged two, eleven and thirteen were found dead today in a house located in Taninges, a small town of 3,500 souls in the French Haute-Savoie: this is what the gendarmes and firefighters of the area reported to the France Presse agency. The emergency services, the sources specified, were called around 12.30 by a family member, but there was nothing that could be done: the three children were already dead.
According to the local newspaper Le Dauphiné Libéré, which first reported the news, investigators are leaning towards the hypothesis of a family drama and the mother of the children is actively sought. About sixty gendarmes and a helicopter were mobilized in the area.
According to radio France Bleu-Savoie, It was the father of the victims who made the macabre discovery in the Taninges house, who immediately called for help. The mother would suffer from mental disorders. Knife wounds were found on the bodies of the three lifeless minors. The Bonneville prosecutor’s office is investigating the facts.
